IRM : How would you describe your relationship with Twin Peaks ? With the work/world of David Lynch in general ?

OptimisGFN : I dont really have a relationship with Twin Peaks... I remember seeing the movie when i was younger... It wasnt until i was invited to this complilation that i found out it wasnt just a movie that it was an actual TV show lol... So i watched a few episodes and the movie makes more sense now...

You recorded a track for our forthcoming Twin Peaks compilation, what aspect of the series inspired you ? Any anecdote about that ?

There wasn’t a particular scene that inspired me... I’m naturally drawn to murder mystery movies or shows... I like crime solving... And this show has it going on early... Any time there’s roads and fog involved in small towns, that’s a recipe for a good one...

You heard about some of the musicians involved in this project. Which one are you the most curious to hear the contribution from ?

I was happy to see Thavius Beck to be involved... I work a lot with k-the-i ??? and he always tells me about him and Thavius worked on their album that came out years ago... So i’m even more happy to be on the same complilation as him...

I still listen to Common SenseResurrection and CamronKilla Season... I know these albums are very different when listening to the content of them but they are connected... I feel both artists were going thru a lot of things personally... And it effected the people hanging around... They always put me back in that mood of doing my best regardless of the situation...

I made Fresh Prince of Berlin after I was done mixing Sound Paragon 2 that I sent off to another label... Mr.Thy (owner of Midnight Colors) helped me with a lot of mixing on SP2... So after we finished mixing, he asked if i could put something out for his label that’s based in Köln... After the summer tour i went home and recorded Fresh Prince using a lot of the mixing tools he showed me... The response has been good and we shot some videos for it also... I always stay working on a project... I’m actually dropping a free project next week...
